Tools, The Essentials - Sharpies!

Sharpies have turned out to be a valuable multi-purpose tool.

Fine Point Sharpies can be used to outline difficult black masking jobs, like the corrugation on the Saturn V.
If your sprayed black paint didn't quite cover the leading edge of a fin, you can run a wider point Sharpie over it. You'll only see the touch-up in bright direct sunlight.

The back white barrel of the pen body is a perfect burnisher. It's great for pressing down detail parts and forming card stock shrouds. (Just be aware of the black print on the white barrel - It could rub off on your finish!)
